These chicken drumsticks are packed with flavor yet they are easy to prepare. The addition of baking powder will help crisp up the skin. I prefer to make my own Cajun spice mix but feel free to use store-bought Cajun mix.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

aluminum foil
6 chicken drumsticks
3 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Pat drumsticks with paper towels until dry.
  • Combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, thyme, oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until combined. Add drumsticks and toss until fully coated. Place drumsticks into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until drumsticks are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of Cajun seasoning I used. The chicken was still very flavorful and juicy, and the skin was perfectly crispy.
